Some of our important results concern computational finance and related computational bioeconomics problems emphasizing general jump process modeling of extreme events, part of a general program in stochastic dynamic programming of the optimal control of continuous time stochastic differential equations, and much of it supported by a series of National Science Foundation Awards (See acknowledgements below).
